I have a couple of .357 Blackhawk's that have throat dimensions all over the map. I intend to buy a reamer to open all the throats to .358 for better consistency and to optimize for cast bullet shooting. I notice that the reamer offered in the Brownells catalog comes with a pilot size of .354. My smallest throat is .356, will this pilot suffice or should I get the "pilot pack" Brownells offers to get a more precise fit?

Thanks
Mike
